Installation

Requirements

Passthrough works with Python 3.6 or newer, and depends on the lxml and NumPy packages.

Setting up a virtual environment

If you want to follow along with the tutorial, we recommend creating a virtual environment for your project. We will be using venv, but you are of course free to use Poetry or similar if you want.

Navigate to a fresh directory and execute:

python3 -m venv env 
source env/bin/activate

It is generally a good idea to ensure that pip is up to date:

pip install --upgrade pip

Installing Passthrough

The Passthrough library lives on PyPI and can be installed with pip:

pip install passthrough
This will install the required dependencies and allow you to from passthrough import Template.
